(25,930 posts)quite gleeful about this. Not gleeful about the destruction and death that will ensue, but gleeful about the force of nature.
To put it another way, "Hooray for global warming!" And poop on all those who don't "believe" in it.
Depending on what Florida looks like after Irma has done her worst, there needs to be some serious reconsideration about rebuilding.
